🌀 Flow

• Doors open at 19.15 and close promptly at 19.45. Please note entry after 19.45 isn’t possible.
• Welcome + Introduction: After a guided warm-up through the body, we’ll have a general welcome and introduction to the theme for the evening before we go into the dance.
• Dance + Music: Let go of any preconceived notions you might have about dance. Unlike anything you’ve experienced before, there is no choreography or special moves in this space. The music is played in a form of a wave where the rhythms will rise to a crescendo and then gently fall – and you’ll get to discover how it feels to move to those beats, moment by moment. During the dance, you’ll be guided with some words of inspiration and invitations (never instructions) to enhance your experience.
• Take it Further - Gathering after class: Once the official dance is over, we open the space for all who want to stay and connect. There will be snacks, opportunities for exchange and spaces for quiet reflections, too.
• No phones: To allow for greatest spontaneity, creativity and freedom of expression, no phones on the dance floor.

Metamorphosis in Addiction Recovery
This year’s retreat is going to take us on an explorative journey for our personal experiences of “Metamorphosis”.
Technically the word is derived from the Greek words “meta” which means “beyond” and “morphosis” which means “forming”.

Indeed there are many insects (and amphibians) that go through the metamorphic process. Often we think of the “beautiful butterfly” spreading its wings to fly.

However, to go through this physical transformation there are a series of steps – not all glorious and light and not what many would easily call beautiful.

Addiction Recovery is like that. A series of sometimes painful steps to transform. To empty out and make space for something beyond the imagination of the being we are today. It requires inner and outer resources to nourish ourselves through the process.

And, so, this year’s KIX Retreat will be all about getting curious, developing tools, and perhaps shedding layers in the journey of addiction recovery.

Who is this Addiction Recovery Retreat for?
This space is open to anyone who is curious about their addictions or compulsions, whether you are exploring this topic for the first time, have intimate knowledge of your patterns, experienced in recovery or not.
Please feel free to reach out with any questions prior to registering. If you would like to participate but are unable to afford the costs, please contact me too!
This 4-day / 3-night retreat allows us the time and space to investigate themes related to addiction or compulsions and how to cultivate tools to reclaim ourselves out of addictive or compulsions behaviors.
The Seminarhof Drawehn is a beautiful venue that holds us so well for these retreats. We are surrounded by nature, fed delicious and nourishing vegetarian meals with produce from their garden. There is also a sauna for the cold evenings to integrate.
